Still one of my favorite songs! 🥺 I always show these to others to let them know about their genius timing and vocals 😍 also it’s worth to check out EXO-M too!
I remember how different vocal coaches dubbed Kyungsoo as "the professor of runs", "master of vocal runs" and the "god of runs" and Adrian McKinnon one of exo's producer and a kpop composer even said that "D.O. does runs like it's no one's business, really out of this world".
The one in history you were asking about is Chanyeol 😂 I laughed when you said he’s super cute cause that’s on brand when it comes to Chanyeol. Notice how he doesn’t look so, so much taller then everyone. He was still growing.
@@widsr1493 @PN_ WR Me, too. I'm clowning myself because of the possibilities after kai's mv ending. Haha... 😂 I just want my baby kyungsoo to sing and show how great he is.
Kyungsoo's biggest flex of his vocals is in Tell Me What Is love. Man! that song is really mind-blowing and the runs is to die for though I suggest you don't watch the music video because that was half-assed done by SM. Their laziness or stinginess perhaps? May I suggest the lyric version instead because that one will satisfy your heart definitely. Always great reaction from you. Thank you ❤
It was "History" that made me notice EXO but "What Is Love" made me stan even more. And I've started to be D.O biased after listening to his vocals at that song. And it's fine the you feel overwhelmed with them having many members but it'll be easy when you like get to know them more and more for long. It took me a month to recognize them all (names, faces, etc.). And trust me it's fun when there are more members.
I have a confession Austin Just few weeks ago I didn't know u but now u r my fav youtuber Welcome to the FAM Exol is a family, we r one. Please love exo forever Stream mmmh guys
"i love these pre-debuts, there's so much Kyungsoo" - I feel you. These days, his given like 2 lines and a couple of adlibs here and there and call it a day :( I really hope we're getting a solo album on 2021
I agree most exo song does not really showcase exo's full vocal potential especially Kyungsoo but EXO are monsters when it comes to live performances. I suggest you react to D.O's Tell me what is love the lyric version and the live version, it is a song that Kyungsoo sang together with his vocal teacher during exo's rookie days. You would really experience heaven with that song because of Kyungsoo's rifts and runs plus you'll be blown away by Kyungsoo's ability to be vocally at par with his teacher.
Sir Austin be like "Who is this boy in the middle? Is he a chinese member? He's kinda cute!" Sir that is literally Chanyeol! He's lanky and had a long hair back then, he looks so different haha. You can't recognize him but you still thought he's cute I'm cackling 😂😂😂 I remember on you first reactions you are so drawn on Chanyeol too 😂
So EXOK has 6 members and EXOM has 6 members they don’t usually promote together. EXOM is mainly working in China. Btw, Kyungsoo is 19 I think in history and already so strong
Luhan is the highest paid c-pop artist in china and also an actor. Kris is the most westernized member having participated in superbowl and acted in different hollywood actors. Recently won 3 trophies in racing. Tao is the most successful for me. Having 12 companies under his name. Acted a lot of film and part a lot of variety show with Luhan and Kris right now.
i don't think there's anything wrong with reacting to content from the three ex-members who left! one thing to know is that kris, luhan, and tao left SM under bad circumstances and they have grown into successful artists outside of SM and EXO. many fans of each of these three ex-members get frustrated when EXO-Ls continue to overly-associate them with the group today (i.e., refer to EXO as 12 or harass them in their lives about EXO and EXO members). they seem to be happier outside of SM and in their own careers, so (i think) we should respect that and treat them as talented soloists and individuals!
yeah i stan exo since their debut and it was so hard for all of us when they left exo. but it was better for them. they are really successful now. they are doing thing the like. for example kris's style of music is completely different from exo and he doesn't really enjoy dancing hard choreos. no he is doing his things and he is so good. also tao and luhan. the 3 of them are in the list of top5 chinese artists. (i think tao is n1. i'm not sure. maybe now lay is n1)
I agree that they shouldn't be harassed or constantly questioned about EXO, they're individual performers now, just as EXO is continuing as a group. Unfortunately I feel like it's the EXO-L's who are frustrated when people talk about their history as a bigger group, like pretending the three weren't part of it at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But then I haven't taken an active part in any of their fandoms the past few years, so I might be missing something.
"The newer songs don't show off D.O.'s vocals as well as this", "There's so much Kyungsoo..." Stab in my heart. Yeah Austin, I'm a Kyungsoo stan since 2012 & in the beginning, the lines were divided btwn only 6 mbrs in K, with Baekhyun & Kyungsoo as main vocalists. Ever since K & M's merge with the departure of 3 chi mbrs, the lines distribution were further divided amongst 9. After Exodus album, Kyungsoo inevitably had less singing lines as compared to when they were only 6 in EXO-K. Though he did have alot of singing parts in The War but comparatively, there's more sharing of parts with the increase in no. of members. As for ex-mbrs, one of the mbrs' departure left a sour note cos apparently, even the mbrs didn't know, & "Suho revealed that Kris’ departure so close to the group’s big Seoul concerts was “physically and emotionally exhausting” for EXO’s remaining members, at a media conference". So I'd say, good luck to their future endeavours, but they are really, not part of the grp anymore. It's fine to react to them, but they are, like you said, history. :)
And since we're on the note of ex-mbrs, I'll juz add that, during that period, Kyungsoo rly rose to the occasion. Since K & M were supposed to be twin grps, (2 main vocalists, 2 rappers & 2 dancers each) when the Chi equivalent of Kyungsoo's position (ie, Luhan) left, Kyungsoo took over both the Chi & Kr parts in Exodus album. This was particularly impressive for me, cos Kyungsoo wouldn't have had the same training as the M counterparts, but he sounded absolutely spot on in Mandarin, even better than Chen (I'm Chinese speaking btw). This was also around the time when he started acting, but he stood in for both the singing & dancing spots left empty by the Chi mbr, & excelled in them. Overdose promo period was probably a rly challenging period for them cos with the mbrs' departure, the K mbrs didn't sleep to prepare for concerts & then went straight to Overdose promotion music stages.
@@exodoit123 I know!! I'm not complaining, he's my favorite vocalist and it makes sense because he has the most versatile voice!! But it is true, even though he doesn't sing as much as before, he's still the one with the most lines and others only get one line. It makes sense when others are centers or have other roles, but I was just pointing it out ^^
@@ZhangUnicorn Though I understand where you are coming from, this part: "He's still the one with the most lines and others only get one line", isn't really true. He's not the one with the most lines in Tempo's album. I think he leads only in Ooh lalala & Smile on my face? Some sub vocalists have as much main lines as him. And he's a main vocalist. If we don't add his adlibs (which are not actual lines), it might even be worse. I'm not trying to grouse abt this, juz that, I think it wld be a fairer comparison if we refer to prior & post merge, agst his own parts, rather than involving the other mbrs. :)
All the 6 members in EXO-K are korean: SuHo, BaekHyun, ChanYeol, D.O., Kai and SeHun. EXO-M had only 2 korean members: Chen and Xiumin, the other 4 members were Chinese: Lay, Kris, LuHan and Tao. They look so young in these videos! 😂
Sir you must react to kyungsoo and his vocal coach called "TELL ME WHAT IS LOVE" the lyric version cz it's the full ver and the live performance it's only 2 min long that's amazing 😭😢😭.
Yay! What is love is such a pretty song. Baekhyun & Kyungsoo always seemed to be having a vocal battle in this song and I find it a little funny but also super cool to see their vocals displayed so well... and as rookies?! I was there in 2012 with EXO & hearing these vocals just blew me away.... although I loved SHINee I knew that these newbies were gonna be big. It hurt when MAMA didn't go over so well & Wolf.... we don't talk about wolf........ "Super Cute" boy is Chanyeol. Hes changed drastically from what he is today. He was a baby back then!!! I get that 12 members are a lot. It was a lot in 2012 as well. I think that's why they split it up into EXOK & EXOM. But even in the EXOK videos they put the EXOM members in the videos for the predebut videos. So it can totally throw you off. Also yes. The 3 members leaving was really sad but they were being very mistreated by SM Entertainment (some would say they still are being mistreated...). I think ZiTao touched on it that they didn't get beds, clothes, food, or even a decent sleep schedule as rookies and were worked to the bone for a dream that may or may not come true. There is a lot to learn about the history of EXO as a group and its daunting. We have the members leaving, mistreatment, severe diets, overworking the idols to the point of exhaustion or sickness, and mistreatment from their company as well as award shows in the later years. You got this Austin! It might be a good idea to look over the EX-Members just so you don't feel lost. The last ex-member to leave was in Call Me Baby. Thank you for the reaction!
4:38 when I tell you he’s gonna show it ALL on his solo album 2021 YALL AINT READY FOR KYUNGSOOS WORLD DOMINATION VOCALS VISUALS ACTING DANCING AND WHAT NOT-
You are right, it is difficult to process the fact that there were 12 members, but for some reason when you know them better they are enough, not much, not little, enough. Even with the loss of three members many Exol still love them and we still see them as part of the family. 💖💖🥺🥺
I hope you recognize that kyungsoo has a heart shaped lips and that's why many fans are attracted on his smile and also baekhyun is known for being the eyeliner king
OMG YES!!! What is Love is really my all time favorite T^T I am still very VERY salty we didn't get a baekhyun and kyungsoo sub-unit album after What is Love and Moonlight (you should react on this too hehe)
This was a pre-debut “teaser” to show off their vocal skills. There are other showing off their dancing skills for example. It’s really worth it to check the EXO-M version of What is love sang by Chen and Luhan (who you don’t know) even just by yourself! It’s just as crazy as the EXO-K version
Rookies EXO did that yup yup 😌 Given the fact that you love Kyungsoo's voice so much I think it's appropriate that you react to his sm station with Yoo Youngjin, Tell Me What is Love ( the old guy 😂👀, the vocal coach/songwriter/producer ). Make sure you react to the full song since the version uploaded on SM's channel is short. "The newer songs don't show off DO's vocals as well as this". Well that's mainly because Baekhyun and Jongdae get the most interesting vocal parts in title tracks. I can't wait for you to get into their b-sides, Kyungsoo's adlibs, runs and just voice in general throughout EXO's discography is pure ear candy. It's so funny 😂 that you didn't recognize rookie Chanyeol at all. "he's super cute" I don't think saying that there are too many members is controversial. That's what my first thought was too, but you shouldn't be so pressured to know all the members. You can simply enjoy these videos and learn with time😊
It's understandable to be overwhelmed 12 members is a lot and 9 to but the more you get to know them you kind of forget they are a big group lol. the 3 left cause of SM mistreatment and had good reasons for leaving, sm has a bad track record of mistreating their artists and their Chinese artists. they didn't leave cause of exo themselves or anything so it's fine to talk about them. Kris, Tao and luhan are solo artists now and have made a big name for themselves and a lot of exols also support them to, I do highly recommend checking them out as well in the future just take your time. also p.s the one at 11:48 was chanyeol ;) & 14:00 was baby sehun
Fun fact: the former EXO members (Kris, Luhan and Tao) reunited lately. They even have a collaboration together:') and also Luhan still follows Xiumin, Chanyeol and Sehun on instagram:') my OT12 heart is so happy:')
Fact: ZiTao will release his new song and it's all about CIRCLE FRIENDS (2013-2020). And also Luhan and Kris Wu shared what ZiTao posted on his weibo account.
I agree with what you've said about having too many members. I will say I really loved them even when they had 12 members but having less lines isn't really working well for them. It's heartbreaking to see them break apart but they're in a better place now. The members are given more time to show their potential and the former members are happy with what they do as well. Love ur reactions! I hope you're feeling better now, stay safe and healthy!
ohhhh, Coach! If you're a DO stan, beside being an exo-l. Then you must be a member of ｄａｎｄａｎｉｅ [단단이]. '단단이', which means we're the strong ones. This is Kyungsoo's fandom name
you don't need to learn the 12 members I was a stan from 2013 and I consider EXO a group with 9 members. the rest were just there 2 years you don't need to get into them . I personally stopped keeping up with the chinese members after 2017. considering them 12 is just disrespectful to the exo and kris, luhan and tao growth we should let it go.
As a baby EXOL also,I stan EXO after 3chinese members left. No one ask me to love them but I did. As watching their old videos and reality shows I can see their love to each other. EXOs Omma will be forever Suho and EXO Appa will be forever Kris Wu. Xuimin and Sehun love to Luhan is precious for me. And Suho Love for his baby Tao will be forever stuck in my heart. Iam not asking for OT12 EXO again but i want an OT12 friendships to see again.
Thank you for appreciating OT12. I know it’s confusing but you’ll get through it. Beginnings always have struggles in it so yeah, go with the flow. Eriyah, SARANGHAJA!
saw you mentioned what is love (aka my fav song everrrrr) earlier on twitter and i immediately clicked as soon as i saw your video TT no rookies did it like exo.
The funny thing is, when someone leaked the information about the EXO-K line up a year or few months before their debut, Kyungsoo(DO) and Baekhyun were not on the list and 2 other guys(which are now part of other kpop boy groups but i forgot their names cause im not really familiar with the other groups) were on the list with Sehun, Chanyeol, Suho, and Kai but DO and Baekhyun ended up singing EXO's pre-debut song and it's a legendary song since they really showcased their vocals here 😭💕
Every time these two sings this line(What Is Love): [D.O and Baekhyun] I lost my mind Noreul choeummannasseultte No hanappego modeungoseun Get in slow motion [D.O] Nege marhejwo ige sarangiramyon [D.O and Baekhyun] Meil geudewa Sumaneun gamjong deureul lanwojugo bewogamyo Ssaugo ulgo anajugo [Baekhyun] Nege marhejwo ige sarangiramyon [D.O and Baekhyun] Sesangnamjadeul modu nalburowohe Noreul gajin nega jiltuna jukgennabwa me: *feeling assaulted with such raw and beautiful vocals* oh my, how do I breathe again?
